Join the Injune
community next Friday, 30 October in celebrating the official opening of the
much-anticipated Injune Creek Gallery.

With doors open at
6pm, the new space will be christened with its first exhibition on display,
John Morrison’s ‘Gateway to the Outback’, a nostalgic compilation of outback
paintings.

The new purpose
built and designed facility is a creative space that will provide the community
with a communal area, used to host a variety of exhibitions for residents and
visitors to enjoy year-round.

Councillor Wendy
Newman, Portfolio Chair for Facilities said the new building is a
highly-anticipated addition to Injune and its streetscape.

"The precinct
incorporates the Library, Council Office, Café and Visitor Information Centre,
and with the addition of the gallery, this is truly a multi-purpose hub for the
community to use into the future," Cr Newman said.

"As well as
being functional, the building has been beautifully designed with timber
cladding to keep with the theme of the surrounding structures."

"The project
came to fruition after extensive consultation between Council, residents and
architects. The designs for the space were developed and workshopped, with the
final building a great achievement for all involved!"

If you can’t make
it to the opening, be sure to take a trip to Injune to visit the new gallery,
opening hours are: Monday – Friday 8.20am – 5.00pm. Don’t miss out - the
‘Gateway to the Outback’ exhibition will be on display until January.

Construction of the
facility was funded by the Maranoa Regional Council, Santos GLNG and the
Queensland Government through Arts Queensland, part of the Department of the
Premier and Cabinet.
